OK, math was ALWAYS my worst subject.. And it appears that my spreadsheet program is MIA on my home computer... I used the measurements and results from the pumpkin in the article you gave me - and came up with a simpler formula that I can do with just the calculator.(this is how I passed through the college math requirements with flying colors - ticked off the prof. that I used non-traditional formulas that I just figured out on my own... but a biologist's brain works through different routes than a mathmatician!) .. If some of you have some spare time to check my results with what your spreadsheet results are - I would greatly appreciate it!! Want to make sure my formula get's close to the same results!

42.5 c, 29 ss, 33 bs = 58.37 lbs
14.5 c, 10.5 ss, 10 bs = 19.5 lbs
43.5 c, 30 ss, 32.5 bs = 59.21 lbs
40 c, 33 ss, 30 bs = 57.54 lbs
36 c, 23 ss, 24 bs = 46 lbs
34 c, 21.5 ss, 24.5 bs = 41.69
27.5 c, 17 ss, 19 bs + 35.47

Now hubby will just have to find our spreadsheet when he gets home!

According to my spreadsheet:

42.5 c, 29 ss, 33 bs = 32 lbs
14.5 c, 10.5 ss, 10 bs = 0 lbs (too small for the chart)
43.5 c, 30 ss, 32.5 bs = 33 lbs
40 c, 33 ss, 30 bs = 31 lbs
36 c, 23 ss, 24 bs = 18 lbs
34 c, 21.5 ss, 24.5 bs = 16
27.5 c, 17 ss, 19 bs = 8.5
